River
10-FEET Lyrics

It's just a waste of time if you can't do anymore
If you're not capable of doing something anymore, it's pointless to try.

Do your best and lay back and leave the rest to God
Put in your best effort and let fate take care of the rest.

Meaning, cause, and coincidence
The things that happen in life can arise from deeper meanings, direct causes, or just random chance.

Come together as one
Different things in life can all come together to form a cohesive whole.

The passage of time is not something that just makes us old
Time can have more significant effects on us beyond just physical aging.

There are people who find purpose just from your presence
Your mere existence can mean the world to some people.

Just by listening, the piercing poetry flows down the withering river
The power of words can be poignant and lasting, even as they flow like a river that eventually dries up.

My mother cried, touched my hand, and cried again, saying "it's okay"
My mother comforted me with her touch and words during a time of emotional distress.

You cried deeply and said "this makes me happy"
You cried tears of joy and expressed happiness during an emotional moment.

I cried and cried alone, realizing where I was, at that river
I broke down in tears by myself when I returned to that same river from the past.

That one word, "help", denies my existence
The request for help from someone can make you feel unimportant or invisible.

Such vows were just misunderstandings
Promises that were made may not be reliable or trustworthy.

No one can live alone
We need other people to share life experiences with and to help us along the way.

You who have been seeking help, and myself who is seeking as well
Both the person who needs help and the person who is providing help may be searching for something.

That river of the past is still reachable and can be visited again
You can still go back to that place from your past and relive those memories.

My mother cried, touched my hand, and cried again, saying "I know everything will be alright"
My mother reassured me that everything would be okay and that she understood my pain.

You cried deeply and said "I'm with you"
You empathized with my feelings of pain and promised to be there for me.

I cried and cried alone, realizing where I was, at that river
I was overwhelmed with emotions when I returned to that same river from the past and cried by myself.
